I take great delight in being Patron of Southern Cross Soloists.
The reputation of this most sought-after chamber ensamble has grown significantly in the last 16 years.
I have watched its development with pride and admiration.
The increasing support for the Soloists' world class concert performance speaks for itself on music stages across Australia and overseas.
I commend the excellent education activties of the ensemble, the workshops, performance practice, tutorials, encouraging participation and talent in young ones.
I am proud of the significant contributions the ensemble has made, and will continue to make, towards the growth of Australian classical music through its broad range of activities.
With warm greetings,
Her ExcellencyMs Quentin Bryce AC CVO
Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia
